Paul and Timothy, bondservants of Christ Jesus: To all God's people in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the ministers of the Church and their assistants.

May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

For of this I am confident, that He who has begun a good work within you will go on to perfect it in preparation for the day of Jesus Christ.

being filled with these fruits of righteousness which come through Jesus Christ-- to the glory and praise of God.

For I know that it will result in my salvation through your prayers and a bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

Let the same disposition be in you which was in Christ Jesus.

in order that in the Name of JESUS every knee should bow, of beings in Heaven, of those on the earth, and of those in the underworld,

and that every tongue should confess that JESUS CHRIST is LORD, to the glory of God the Father.

Everybody concerns himself about his own interests, not about those of Jesus Christ.

For we are the true circumcision--we who render to God a spiritual worship and make our boast in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in outward ceremonies:

Nay, I even reckon all things as pure loss because of the priceless privilege of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. And for His sake I have suffered the loss of everything, and reckon it all as mere refuse, in order that I may win Christ and be found in union with Him,

with my eyes fixed on the goal I push on to secure the prize of God's heavenward call in Christ Jesus.

We, however, are free citizens of Heaven, and we are waiting with longing expectation for the coming from Heaven of a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ,

And then the peace of God, which transcends all our powers of thought, will be a garrison to guard your hearts and minds in union with Christ Jesus.

But my God--so great is His wealth of glory in Christ Jesus--will fully supply every need of yours.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits.
